Wu Xiangwang covered his shoulders and walked along the strange green trees on both sides of the street towards the square of the City of Bliss.
It was already past midnight, and the City of Peace had grown quiet. It was as if the city's strangeness had finally become human-like, even adopting the same routines as humans.
If someone could see Wu Xiangwang at this time, they would surely be amazed at the scene he caused.
Those strange green trees with strong vitality were stretching their branches madly to the left and right as he walked. Some of the strange trees even twisted their branches as if they wanted to uproot themselves and run to another street.
"Don't be so stingy. We're all living beings in the same world. Lending you a little vitality won't kill you. And I'm not trying to fleece a tree. Don't resist me so much. It won't hurt or itch."
Weird trees: Bah!
Just because you say it doesn't itch, it doesn't itch anymore?! Even the weird mosquitoes in this weird world don't suck the blood of trees, okay? Aren't you, a giant mosquito from Earth, taking this a bit too far?!
But Wu Xiangwang had no choice. Although he had taken healing medicine to stop the bleeding in his entire right shoulder, he was still very weak and the energy in his body could not support him to go through another battle.
Although foods like energy beast meat can restore the energy in his body, it is still too little and too slow. If he wants to quickly restore the energy in his body, he still has to rely on his own skills.
At this time, I feel that the Mengwu brothers are really reliable and their blood-sucking skills are really awesome.
Especially when the blood-sucking skill could absorb the life energy of most lives, he felt that as long as he sucked all the green and strange plants on this street, his body would be basically recovered by the time he went to the square.
So, when Wu Xiangwang walked slowly through three streets and finally arrived at the agreed point in the square of the City of Bliss, the strange trees on the three streets he passed by were withering and dropping leaves in an S shape, which made the strange trees in charge of cleaning the streets the next day very confused.
Wu Xiangwang was the first person to arrive at the agreed location.
Neither Shang Chong, Wu Xingyun, Wang Xiao, nor Hao Youjin are here.
On the bright side, they should all be in the Human Mutual Helper's Inn at this time, taking a short rest and then looking for an opportunity to come out.
And he believed that his teammates were not the kind of people who would die easily.
Wu Xiangwang thought about this and found a corner to sit down. He switched to the blood bonus of [Chameleon] and adjusted his shirt and pants to dark light-absorbing colors.
It can hide in the darkness and seem to absorb some of the surrounding heat.
Sitting in the corner, he could still hear the roar of Liusha in the distance, sometimes strong and sometimes weak.
He was stunned for a moment, thinking about how to face Liusha and deal with him... No, it was his business.
Previously, he wanted to use this weirdo who was ostracized by the entire Anle City to create a huge chaos in Anle City, and then they could take advantage of the chaos to leave the city.
In his original plan, he only needed to stir up the strange conflict between Liusha and the entire Anle City. He even planned to use Liusha's reputation as a big villain to create chaos.
Liusha's life or death was never in his mind.
But now, he thought he could no longer plot against that guy openly.
No matter what Liusha looks like, at least now, he is still himself.
Beneath that terrifying appearance, there is a human heart.
As long as his heart remains unchanged, he is a compatriot.
No one should raise a butcher knife against his fellow man.
But it was too difficult to leave the city without causing a big mess.
Since they were all wanted criminals and he had clearly provoked and injured the young city lord, he would probably be hunted down by the entire city as soon as he showed up.
The edge of the city was only guarded by wooden fences that looked very easy to climb over, but Wu Xiangwangyue did not believe that the wooden fences were as fragile as they looked.
Otherwise, why would Liusha stay here and not escape when he was being hunted by the monsters all over the city for so long?
“…Tsk.”
Xiannan couldn't help but sigh.
In that case, I have to take that guy with me.
But given Liusha's current situation, he probably can't even communicate normally.
How to convince him to cooperate and then leave with them?
While Wu Xiangwang was thinking with his eyes closed, he heard very light footsteps coming closer and closer.
Those were the footsteps of two people, most likely the two Tibetan brothers Songtsen and Dorje.
Wu Xiangwang did not open his eyes, but he soon heard Songzan's cautious voice:
"Brother, are you really okay? Actually, you didn't have to block that blow for me before. My body has become more defensive than yours after transforming into a yak."
"No matter how strong you are, you are still flesh and blood. How can you resist a blow like a clod of earth? I'm fine. We need to hide in a corner quickly in case any patrolling creeps or other passing creeps see us."
"Perhaps the innkeeper will come soon."
Songzan's voice was filled with gritted teeth. "I thought the human beings in this hotel we're staying in were kind, but I didn't expect she wasn't such a good person either! She even tried to test whether you had any contact with Niu Er today. We all have her eavesdropping bellflowers in our rooms!"
Doji looked at his angry brother and smiled: "Don't you understand by now? The 'humans' who can live peacefully in this city are actually no longer human."
Those are just weird things covered with human skin.
At this time, the two of them were already very close to Wu Xiangwang, but no one noticed Bianse Wangwang standing by the wall in the corner.
Until Wu Xiangwang responded to them.
"That's right. The people here are not human, Gui... or maybe not Gui."
!!!
Songzan was so frightened that hair started growing on his arms, and it looked like he was about to transform and attack the enemy.
But he soon noticed the person sitting in the corner, almost blending into the darkness and the wall.
"Ah! You are that one! That one! The bloody wanted criminal! Never forget me!"
When he said the last three words, Songtsen's eyes lit up.
Wu Xiangwang smiled at this big cutie, and then looked at Doji who was covering his abdomen.
"Are you injured? Let me treat you. Then, we'll go to Jin Richeng's house together."
He suddenly remembered that Jin Richeng said he came to this city half a year ago, and the wanted order for Liusha was also issued half a year ago.
So, maybe Jin Richeng knows something about Liusha. Even if he doesn't, we can catch him and ask him about other strange news in the city.
So if you want to run away, take Jin Richeng with you.
Even if Jin Richeng is some weird lackey in this city who wants to plot against them, if they suddenly attack Jin Richeng now, they will definitely hit him and catch him off guard.
Instead of wasting a night on the streets, it is better to do something more. After all, time is life.
Doji looked at the handsome young man in front of him who smiled at him and said he would heal him. His expression was a little complicated, but in the end he closed his mouth and nodded.
He wanted to say something, but when he looked into those beautiful phoenix eyes, he felt that there was no need to say anything.
In any case, they are people who cannot possibly go the same way.
The directions of their journeys were opposite from the very beginning.
This is probably another kind of fate, not to mention that in this world, nothing is more important than being alive.
So, that's it.
If they could return to their homeland in the future, he would look forward to their next meeting.
"Thank you so much."
Wu Xiangwang smiled sincerely. "You're welcome, you're welcome. It's just that my treatment method is a little special. Just cough, don't curse me in your heart later."
Doji: “?”
Songzan: "Brother Wangwang, you healed my brother's wounds, why would my brother scold you?"
Ten minutes later, Songzan touched his brother's arm, which was swollen with three big lumps, with heartache and looked at Wu Xiangwang with a resentful look.
Wu Xiangwang coughed and said, "Everything is gained and every thing is lost. Even poisonous milk is still milk."
Songzan: "But you are too vicious."
Songzan said what most of the Dharma Kings who were replenished with blood did not dare to say, and his brother Xiangxiang looked at him like a little kid, asking him to shut up.
One minute to five in the morning.
Shang Chong and Wu Xingyun lay in bed unable to sleep. They had agreed to leave at three in the morning, and Jin Richeng should have been asleep by then.
But the waiting time is always torturous, and Xiong Zhuang's injuries are quite serious. Even with Bao Ben's emergency treatment, it would be best if he could rest for a few days.
His mind was in a mess when he suddenly heard a knock on the door.
Shang Chong's eyes widened in disbelief, and he suddenly sat up from the bed. "Fuck! Ringing the doorbell at this time, could it be that kid Wangwang?! Why did he come back at this time? Is he seriously injured?!"
Shang Chong rushed out of the room and saw Wang Xiao opening the door opposite and Xiao Lajiao popping out diagonally opposite.
The three of them looked at each other and quickly went downstairs, only to see Jin Rucheng opening the door with a look of surprise and welcoming the brothers Wu Xiangwang and Duoji in.
"Oh, Miss Xiangxiang, what's wrong with you? Why did you come back so late?"
"And who are these two?"
Jin Richeng was really surprised at this time. He thought that Wu Xiangwang, who had not returned by midnight, would really never come back.
After all, whether it is being taken home by the strange after dancing with him, or being chased by him after rejecting him, it is both a very dangerous thing.
The latter still have a chance to come back, just like the injured humans who came back after 11 o'clock in the evening.
But the former is almost a one-way trip.
Whether it was because of becoming that weird exclusive human being or because of that weird exclusive midnight snack, it was impossible for him to be a human being.
But now, the beauty he thought was gone and would never come back actually came back.
"...I was being chased by some unknown monster on the way. Luckily, these two compatriots helped me when I was about to collapse. That's why I've been able to hold on until now."
"Sorry to wake you up so late, I think we need to get some rest..."
The beauty showed a very weak expression, and his explanation made Jin Richeng feel slightly relieved.
Jin Richeng turned around and looked at the two men, one big and one small. They both had bad expressions on their faces. The smaller one looked as if he was daydreaming. He smiled inwardly and made way for them. "Oh, then hurry in! I'll pour you a cup of hot tea! And I have some healing medicine here, I'll give it to you too, huh?!"
As Jin Richeng turned around, the beautiful woman standing behind him suddenly changed her appearance. Then, a lightning-fast punch hit Jin Richeng directly on the back of the head. With just one blow, Jin Richeng, who still had a worried expression on his face, was knocked unconscious.
Even though Jin Richeng had the physical fitness of a fourth-level adventurer, he could not withstand the blow from the King of Strength.
It only took Shang Chong and the other two three seconds to go from their initial confusion and worry, to their shock and bewilderment at seeing Jin Richeng being beaten, to their current positive acceptance.
"Wang! Let's go now?"
Wu Xiangwang gave Shang Chong a look that showed he understood his son: "Leave now! If the wind blows, run!"
Shang Chong immediately gave a thumbs up, turned around and ran upstairs.
Wang Xiao and Xiao Lajiao followed him upstairs, while Wu Xiangwang asked Duoji to carry the unconscious Jin Richeng, and he ran quickly to Jin Richeng's kitchen and his room.
After Wu Xiangwang had cleared out all of Jinri Cheng's food supplies, as well as the energy silver coins and a third-level energy stone in his drawer, he came to the living room and saw his companions ready to go, as well as Brother Zhang and his group standing on the stairs with complicated expressions.
Brother Zhang: “…”
Don’t forget each other: “…”
Brother Zhang: "Beautiful lady, can you give me an explanation for the noise you made? We live here too."
Wu Xiangwang winked at Wang Xiaoshangchong, then looked at Brother Zhang and then at Brother Bin, who had become the lackey of the old steward of the ball and looked confused, and smiled.
"Nothing, it's just that we discovered that Boss Jin has joined forces with the Weirdos and is trying to harm us in various ways, so we feel that the hotel is no longer safe."
"Also, a friendly reminder, the guy next to you, Brother Bin, is also a ghost in human skin."
After saying this, Wu Xiangwang left without looking back, leaving everyone in the room looking at each other in bewilderment.
Brother Bin was surrounded by Brother Zhang's men in an instant. His face changed drastically: "You don't really believe what that woman said? They are robbers and not good people! We should call the police and the security team! Let the security team catch them, ah——"
Before Brother Bin could finish his words, blood burst out of his throat.
Zhang Ba tutted his words, "I'm just a little less educated, not mentally retarded, idiot."
Even though he was upset about being dominated by a woman, he could still distinguish between a person with real ability and a waste at a glance.
But now, he was tricked by that woman again.
"Boss! What should we do next? We need to report the guards, right?"
Zhang Ba sneered.
"Report bullshit! We're all injured and exhausted tonight. We don't know what happened. From now on, everyone should be alert and... see what that team is going to do."
Based on his thirty years of experience and vision in the underworld, that group of people will definitely not be content!
All they have to do is watch the fire from the other side of the river and take advantage of the situation when necessary.
And now the ones taking advantage of the situation are Wu Xiangwang and the other fourteen people.
Their electric tricycle had been smashed to pieces on the way back by the strange people who were chasing Hao Youjin and his team.
Now they drive Jin Richeng's electric car.
Fortunately, Jin Richeng's car is usually used to carry passengers and looks more like a minibus, which is more than enough to seat fifteen people.
"This is so exciting! I never thought we'd get to rob an innkeeper!" Meng Chang sighed, pushing up his glasses. "God knows how much I wanted to rob them when I stayed in really expensive hotels and B&Bs! Today, I've finally made my dream come true."
Then Meng Chang was kicked to the side by his senior. Wang Xiao looked at the scenery passing by quickly outside the car window and calculated the route of every remote road in his mind.
"Are you sure you want to go southwest? The map over there is full of abandoned house signs."
Wu Xiangwang nodded: "It's correct that there's an abandoned house sign. I think that's the place the guards go to the least."
Even places that you won't easily pass through.
Because there is a fellow being there who wants to kill them all the time.
So Wang Xiao quickly calculated the route and directed Xiaopao to drive.
In order to ensure that the vehicle would not be discovered, Wu Xiangwang sat directly on the roof.
Hundreds of butterflies landed on this car. At the most critical moment, you can activate [Zhuang Zhou's Dream of the Butterfly] to make them see the strangeness of the car and create an illusion, leading them to another direction.
Along the way, [Zhuang Zhou Mengdie] used the skill "Don't Forget Each Other" three times and escaped the patrol inspections of three guard teams.
Fortunately, none of the three guard teams had any advanced weirdness like the white cat, otherwise his illusion might have been discovered soon.
But when they entered the southwestern area of the somewhat dilapidated and abandoned city, there was no trace of the guards.
Just as Wu Xiangwang guessed, within the range where "Liu Sha" was located, no monster without strength would come here to seek death.
At two o'clock in the morning, they finally chose a larger abandoned house and walked in.
It was not until everyone sat down on the abandoned sofas and carpets that they let go of their vigilance and worries.
It was at this time that Jin Richeng, who had been carried on Doji's shoulders with his wrists, ankles, neck and waist shackled with golden shackles, finally woke up slowly.
He opened his eyes and was stunned when he saw the hole in the ceiling.
Then he couldn't help but shout, only to find that his mouth was stuffed with several slices of mushrooms and peppers, so he couldn't make a sound at all.
At this moment, Jin Richeng saw a man in black clothes and black pants walk up to him, staring into his eyes and saying:
"Jin Richeng, do you know Liusha?"
Jin Richeng's pupils contracted and dilated violently in an instant.
Then, the mushrooms and peppers in his mouth were pulled out, but a sharp, cold kitchen knife was placed on his neck.
At this point, he already understood that his situation was extremely dire. He guessed something in his mind, but still revealed a very sincere yet puzzled smile:
"My fellow countrymen, what do you mean by this? We are all from Earth! Why would you wield a knife against your own people?"
"And Liusha, isn't he the wanted criminal? He always comes knocking on my door, and I have to recognize him even if I don't want to."
Wu Xiangwang glanced at Wang Xiao. Wang Xiao, holding the knife, pressed it against Jin Richeng's neck. Blood started to flow as soon as the knife reached the neck.
"Your neck is 15.6 centimeters wide, and the epidermis may be a little thicker than usual, but if I move this knife forward just one centimeter, your aorta will be cut."
"Even if you have a strong physique, you won't be able to hold out for half an hour before you bleed to death. But dying from excessive blood loss is too easy. I might then consider using the method of slow slicing to make you feel even more pain."
Jin Richeng's face changed, and he looked at Wang Xiao as if he was a pervert.
"I'll ask you again, do you know Liusha?"
Wu Xiangwang then turned to face Jin Richeng, his eyes meeting his. His pupils gradually changed from amber to a deep, fiery red.
"Do you know Liusha? Has he done anything that makes you extremely angry and hateful? Why didn't he shoot the energy shields of others, but only you?"
"Is Liusha always picking on you? Does he really hate you, despise you, or even want to... kill you?!"
"He's always chasing you like a ghost. Are you willing to accept that?"
Jin Richeng looked into those deep red eyes and listened to those pressing questions. The fear in his heart gradually turned into anger and hatred towards Liusha.
His pupils seemed to turn into an angry scarlet in an instant, his expression became ferocious, and he growled with gnashing teeth:
"He still wants to kill me?! What right does he have to kill me?! He just can't stand seeing me suffer!!"
"I just want to survive. What's wrong with that?! Why do I have to leave such a great place like the City of Peace?!"
"All I have to do is sell my soul and I can stay here in peace! Isn't that better than walking through cities and risking my life!"
"He's noble! He's brave! He's flawless! He's the best captain!! He's better than me in every way. Even the Rongyu siblings like him! Hahahahaha! But so what?"
Jin Richeng's pupils turned blood red, as if he had thought of something funny. Even though he was tied up, he rolled on the ground laughing.
"He was better than me in everything, but wasn't I the one who survived in the end?!"
"None of his teammates who trusted him survived! Everyone thinks he was the murderer!"
"Rong Lan tried to save him but was killed by him!"
"Didn't Rong Yu still stab the knife into his chest in the end? Calling him a monster?!"
"Hahahahaha! So no matter how good he is, it doesn't matter! I'm the one who survived in the end! I'm the one who survived like a human being!"
"And he! He can only be a wanted criminal who is neither human nor ghost, and is hunted down by everyone, even the weird ones!!"
Jin Richeng rolled over and laughed:
"He couldn't kill me before, and he won't be able to kill me in the future! I have the slave mark of Master Jax on me! The slave mark can give me rebirth! No matter how much he hates me, he can't kill me, hahahaha!"
"Between him and me, I won in the end! It was him who lost everything!"
“Hahahahahahahahahaha!”
